A barrel of petrol is 42 gallons, but such a container does not actually exist.
- Zen Koan in my Physics Textbook
The mural says: Everything we have tried has failed, all our ideologies have proven lethal. And the mural says: We must try again and again and again, try forever, not until we get it right, we are incapable of getting it right, we cannot get it right, we are animals, but we are animals with dreams and perfume and fine teeth to tear asunder choice meats, we will never eat straw like the ox, we will never enter the walls of Salvation and wander the city of Paradise. But we will go toward it and we will fail and we will love and we will kill and we will take the color from the sky, the kiss from her dead lips, the breast from the cold mouth of the dead baby, we will. That is it, we will. And whosoever promises us Paradise, that is the traitor. Whosoever offers us Salvation, that is the killer in our midst.
